Purpose
Identifying actors and use cases outlines the boundary of the application by briefly describing who interacts with the system and the value they will get out of the interaction. This activity results in a draft Use Case Model, usually with brief descriptions of actors in the Artifact: Actor Catalog and of each Artifact: Use Case.
